Character: Family-run inn occupying the former home of a famous Italian artist.
Location: In Lido di Camaiore, a beach resort north of Pisa. Great for seeing Lucca, Pisa, and the Cinqueterre, 40 minutes away by train (the station is a 5-minute walk from the hotel). Also a good base for an Italian beach holiday. Click here to see a map.
Size: This former mansion is so idiosyncratic that perhaps even the owner
doesn't know how many rooms there are! About 20, including doubles, triples,
quadruples and suites and 2, 3 or 4 people.
Features: Simple furnishings, private bathroom, air conditioning, telephone, DSL Internet access (in the lobby) and television. The suites have balconies with views of the "Tuscan Alps." Artwork by the original owner, Galileo Chini, one of the founders of Art Nuoveau, are everywhere. Very good and incredibly economical restaurant which moves out to the beautiful garden in summertime. Price includes breakfast.
Price range: From 120. EURO/night. To see specific prices for the dates of your stay, please

Minimum stay: Two nights.
Advantages: Friendly owners and staff; nice shady garden; close to the beach.
Disadvantages: Not fancy.
Car needed: No, but if you plan to tour the cities of Tuscany from here, it is much easier with a car.
